What we do now echoes in eternity.
Marcus Aurelius
Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life.
Marcus Aurelius
You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.
Marcus Aurelius
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.
Marcus Aurelius
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Marcus Aurelius
Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which will always spring up if thou wilt always look.
Marcus Aurelius
It is within our power not to make a judgement about something, and so not disturb our minds; for nothing in itself possesses the power to form our judgements.
Marcus Aurelius
When men are inhuman, take care not to feel towards them as they do towards other humans.
Marcus Aurelius
I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.
Marcus Aurelius
Think of yourself as dead. You have lived your life. Now, take what's left and live it properly. What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.
Marcus Aurelius
The first rule is to keep an untroubled spirit. The second is to look things in the face and know them for what they are.
Marcus Aurelius
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
Marcus Aurelius
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
The wise man endures his pain, accepts it, but does not add to it.
Marcus Aurelius
